AQ is kinda slow even though setting is 5s/move byo-yomi.

What do you mean by that? These programs probably have "time management" and ideally begin by analyzing the speed of the hardware on which they are running and setting themselves to utilize as much time as they have according to the time control setting.

Of course strength settings may play a role too, so if being asked to play below maximum possible strength might do that in a way that resulted in moving faster (using less time than the time control allowed).

In other words, by my way of thinking, if you tell a program "you can use 5 seconds per move" I would not call it "slow" if it used 4.5 sec/move. You said it could.

That's make sense.
What I mean is in its config file, I listthe byo-yomi time as 5 sec, and main time is 0. So I assume it can used 5 sec

Here game 4 and 5

Game 5, AQ (W) give Leela 11.0 2 stones handicap.





For some reason, in game 5, both bots do not pass and just keep playing in its territory. Chinese rule: Leela +1.5; Japanese rule: AQ wins

All game only used 4 threads.

With an i7 quadcore, AQ's author recommends 5 threads, you should probably use more than 4.

Or maybe AQ is much weaker at 5" ?? For my 10 games, I had AQ and Leela both at 30" per move (time_settings 0 30 1)
no pondering

Results were :
Even games : AQ beats Leela0110GTP_OpenCL 5-0
H2 : AQ (W) beats Leela0110GTP_OpenCL (B) 4-1 (always by resignation)

My computer : Windows 10 i7-6700K (4gHz) 32GB GTX1080
(Leela benchmark : 200000 games in 9.27s. 21574 g/s 2696 g/s per thread)

If you have CSDL installed, I'd be very much interested in some H5 games against CSDL set at 5dan , because I believe that CSDL-5dan doesn't depend much on the hardware, it could even be a kind of reference point.

Does AQ know double ko?

Maybe not. This gave leela 0.11.0 a lot of advantage. Time setting is 15 seconds per move for each player. The GPU is EVGA GTX 1050.
